Answer: No, the orders are not independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

If event 1 has some possible outcomes, suppose that we choose a given outcome 1 with a probability P1, and event 2, also with different possible outcomes, we can select an outcome 2, that has a probability P2, and the two events are independent (meaning that the outcome in event 1 does not affect the outcome in event 2, and vice versa)

Then the probability of outcome 1 and outcome 2 happening at the same time is equal to the product of their individual probabilities.

P = P1*P2.

In this case, event 1 is the selection of the pizza, and outcome 1 is the selection of the square pizza, with a probability of 55%.

Event 2 is the selection of the drink, outcome 2 is the order of a soft drink, with a probability of 72%.

If those two events were independent, then the probability that a customer orders a square pizza and a soft drink would be:

P = 0.55*0.72 = 0.396 (or 39.6%)

But we know that the actual probability is 48%.

So this is larger, which means that the outcomes are not independent.

Simplify the function. Than determine the key aspects of the function
Tom [10]

To simplify the function, we need to know some basic identities involving exponents.


1. b^(ax)=(b^x)^a=(b^a)^x

2. b^(x/d) = (b^x)^(1/d) = ((b^(1/d)^x)


Now simplify f(x), where

f(x)=(1/3)*(81)^(3*x/4)

=(1/3)(3^4)^(3*x/4) [ 81=3^4 ]

=(1/3)(3^(4*3*x/4) [ rule 1 above ]

=(1/3) (3^(3*x)

=(1/3)(3^(3x)) [ or (1/3)(27^x), by rule 1 ]



(A) Initial value is the value of the function when x=0, i.e.

initial value

= f(0)

=(1/3)(3^(3x))

=(1/3)(3^(3*0))

=(1/3)(3^0)

=(1/3)(1)

=1/3


(B) the simplified base base is 3 (or 27 if the other form is used)


(C) The domain for an exponential function is all real values ( - &infin; , + &infin; ).


(D) The range of an exponential function with a positive coefficient and without vertical shift is ( 0, + &infin; ).
